Yorkshire & The Dales
God’s Own County
The Yorkshire Dales National Park and Yorkshire itself is a beautiful place, hence the name ‘God’s own country. The history and landscape allures people from all around the world and has a bit of everything for everyone. I have always lived on the edge of the Dales, and visited regularly ever since I was a young lad. However, I never truly appreciated the area until in my late 20’s where I began to cycle and hike/walk more regularly. I found my hunger and curiosity grew the more I visited, immersing myself in the landscape.
Below you will find the hikes/walks that have ratings of difficulty and contain mainly my own stories, routes, GPX files and, photographs. Some longer than others. I hope others can enjoy their own Yorkshire adventure like me.
BLOGS & ROUTES
Baugh Fell, Tarn Rigg
The highest summit of the very extensive Baugh Fell, known as Tarn Rigg Hill - and is quite featureless. Rarely visited, it’s a fell that I won’t be visiting in any hurry. I spent most of the day navigating my way over pathless moorlands, which seemed the take forever! However, the views over Sedbergh and the Howgills are fantastic and very rewarding - especially from Knoutberry Haw.
Distance: 12 miles / 19 km
Location: Murthwaite LnKirkby Stephen
Middle Tongue
A long, partly trackless, hike in the hills above the valley of Langstrothdale. Middle Tongue is one of the most remote fells in the Dales, even the most experienced hiker would find it a long day out. Crossing expansive areas of moorland. With fantastic views throughout, including the three peaks, it’s a rewarding hike. Despite having sore legs at the end.
Distance: 10 Miles / 6 Km
Location: Hubbleholme
Black Force, Spout, Fell Head & Linghaw
An excellent walk to the summit of Fell head through the majestic valley of Carlingill Beck via Black Force and the Spout. A remote part of the Cumbrian Dales, hardly visited, with stunning views of the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and the M6.
Distance: 6.5 Miles / 10.5 Km
Location: Sedbergh
